the seven pm here in moscow you're watching live here r t with me to bomb with say turkey's launch a fresher tillery strike on syria in response to another mortar attack from across the border ancora began its shelling on wednesday and retaliation for syrian war to bomb that killed five civilians a middle east correspondent policia has the details. we do know that there's a mortar bomb landed in the countryside in turkish that territory so it is possible that no one in fact was injured or killed we also have no word on who was responsible for this later mortar from syria what i can tell you though is that almost immediately turkey responded and went on the offensive meaning that we had the situation along the turkish syrian border intensifying its started back on wednesday when a wall to bomb fired from syria killed five turkish citizens and since in the situation has nearly escalated we're hearing from the turkish prime minister that

he does not want a situation of war but he has warned the syrians not to make a fatal mistake and that is a quote from him and taste his resolve the syrians will this side have apologized for this what is interesting is that you need to realize that these waters that are being fired from syria into turkey on close range missiles now they are coming from territory that is controlled by the syrian rebels so this is why many are suggesting that perhaps they are being fired on purpose they're being fired to provoke the situation and create a false flag operation now the reasoning behind this could be that turkey for some time has been calling for a no fly zone it might be provoked into calling for foreign intervention and for nato to get involved in fact we've heard some rebel leaders in exile call for this although the majority of excels in the majority of syrians are against this but the situation intensifying on the ground and everyone concerned that we could see this

border tension into some kind of regional conflict the battle certainly is intensifying the latest there's a video that has now been released by the syrian rebels we have no confirmation as to the or patient of the video but it does claim that the rebels will start executing forty eight muslims from iran if damascus does not meet the demands of the syrian rebels now there has been dialogue and some kind of negotiations. wow between the syrian government and the reigning government at the same time just outside damascus the rebels have shot down a syrian helicopter gunship this comes as shelling continues between both sides in several cities around the country russia has come to the fore in the media a tree role it has said that it hopes the united nations arab envoy to syria will be coming to moscow perhaps later this month and the two they hope that both sides will express caution moscow also saying that these cross border incidents are

completely unacceptable. but our borders strikes at turkey fire. at the syrian borders but parliament authorize troops to launch cross border operations against syria the country's prime minister warned that one car will not shy from war you have provoked author and journalist afshin rattansi believes damascus will retaliate if pulled into a broader conflict. this kind of flashpoint is the kind of flashpoint that can create world war three and nature as some people have it this is a false flag operation we're getting these reports of this continued as it were a reaction from judge government ok so i do and will face political problems at home but then why were they speaking with the iranians talking about how this needs a diplomatic solution not a military one if turkey continues under the agreements we didn't vote this would draw in a way to situation a wider fears here over the war and risks expanding it the people of syria and the

people of turkey will not benefit from this nature says that they'll defend any nato member if turkey continue like this syria might see itself getting increasingly desperate and that retaliate with full force then it's up to the united states. britain european nato allies to figure out what to do what we need urgently right now is a peace conference so it's up to china and russia because they're the only people stopping a full scale war the kind of war that will only help but forces it looks like such as al qaeda united states is again supporting al-qaeda and turkey mr herder one should know much better than to try and help al qaeda he's been doing his best to fight the forces of his presidency. the republic of venice says planning for a glorious comeback supporters of uneasy and independence from its aliyah demanding

has now become our war and they should be sure to catch on all of these terrorists that are doing it but unfortunately not able do not able to handle economic affairs of the country let alone disturb the mission that has been the fall of our country in part. the u.s. defense chief leon panetta has called on the afghan president to thank american troops rather than criticize them because responding to him because lies complains this is a that washington is failing to go after militants base in neighboring pakistan that's all on the eve of the eleventh anniversary since the nato forces invaded the country and all activists and journalists at don de bar feels the alliance is simply not welcome in the country. the united states has a blind spot to the fact that people tend to have an affinity for their national sovereignty that doesn't disappear just because their country is occupied by the united states and you have this manifest in afghanistan

to the point where it's now obvious that if you hand an afghan he comprador soldier a weapon and show them how to use it they turn it on the american soldier that handed it to them the people of afghanistan want the united states out and it's a natural thing for that to occur and the united states just doesn't see that one of the goals of the us imperial project is to where they can't completely dominate a place leave the people at each other's throats while they carry off the resources and so there's agitation for that that's put into play as the united states enters these countries what will happen in two thousand and fourteen is the afghanis will have an opportunity to settle their own national issues themselves without an occupying army directing the. sunday will say a tightly contested presidential vote in venezuela with the polls set to reveal how many remain loyal to the outspoken socialist leader hugo chavez his opponent

a young lawyer and staunch critic of the government is predicted to give vessel close race let's get more on this from mark ways profit center of economic and policy research he joins us live from washington good to see this now he's got a stage a remarkable comeback from cancer this year and what seventy six year term to consolidate his socialist revolution in the oil rich state while his challenger and rekick up realises waiting in with completely different policies so how do you assess the chances of the two candidates. well if you look at the polls you know there were four polls in september when the polling closed at the end this is. fourteen out of eighteen showed job as a head lead was eleven point seven points so i don't think the election is close over the course you have a week where you know it's possible that transit routes but for all the polling

data we have. job it has a very large margin again you can tell it depends a lot on turnout but if you look at electoral contests around the world you know you compare it to united states or anything else. this is not a very close race so far now a lot of people say that you know company ls may not necessarily attractive people to his policies but more that he did pick up the protest vote from people who just one change from chavez i mean if a company has a wins how the country calls them likely to change any of chavez wins how's that going to change. well i think if john lewis wins you'll see a lot of the same of what he's done you know the reason that he might win is that people's living standards of improved enormously over the past thirteen years the you know the poverty has been reduced since they got control of the oil industry in

two thousand or two thousand and three but you can take two thousand four years to be sure poverty has fallen by half and extreme poverty by seventy percent and one is about unemployment is about half what it was before he was aware that you could look at any measure access to health care is increase for millions of people education you have no free college education for millions of college in rome and has doubled the number of people eligible for public pensions is four times as much as it used to be so i think jobs will continue to expand the welfare state at the least and we don't know what else the government will be capable. of as a certainly known as the mad all the people in venezuela now let's look at his presidential campaign it's been mobbed by an information storm i gained simming the international media especially in the u.s. does it really pose a threat to washington. you know president obama even said just recently been as

well with those and pose a security threat and that was after one of his top military officer said the same thing the military's been saying there for years by the way that they also for example when the political the boer say that the judges were supporting the park. in. the military the military commanders and their sleeves are all said that wasn't true and they're the ones that have to settle it. that all that stuff is kind of nonsense to go and nobody who knows anything here really takes it seriously. well let's leave it right they were of course will be following the. elections tomorrow thank you very much mr walkways broader co-director of the center for economic and policy research for talking to us here on r.t. . more world news for you now the pope's form of butler has been handed an eighteen month sentence after he stole and then sold on to
